Three days before the death of the Prophet ﷺ, his pain began to intensify 💔. At that time, he was in the house of Umm al-Mu’minin Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). He said, “Gather my wives for me.” When they had gathered, the Prophet ﷺ asked, “Do you permit me to be cared for during my illness in the house of Aisha?” They replied, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah, we grant you permission.”
When he tried to stand, he was unable to support himself.

He said:
“O people, my meeting with you is not in this world. My meeting with you will be at the Hawd (the Basin). By Allah, it is as if I can see it from where I stand now.”
Then he said:
